Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
It sounds like it is still running lean. Pull the plug and describe the color and condition. Pics are even better.

Replace your fuel lines and clean the inlet to the needle and seat. Today's fuel destroys the inside of the old fuel lines and bits and pieces flake off.

Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
So i tore apart the carb and cleaned it well. I also removed the main jet and it looks like it is a 65? I took the scooter for a ride afterwards and it still was bogging down... adjustments? different jet? What do I have to do to get this thing running the way it should? Thanks for your help guys

Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
From doing a little more research, it looks like my plug color means that it is too rich, meaning the carb needs adjusted... can someone instruct me on what exactly i need to adjust? Also if the jet is the one that is supposed to be in there (65) and the plug is correct (Bpr6hsa). thanks
Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
Depends on whether you did a proper plug chop and at what throttle setting you did the plug chop.

Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
Did you do an actual plug chop or just ride the scooter and then bring it to a stop, letting it idle, then shut off the motor.OptimusRhymes wrote:care to elaborate on that a little bit bear?Bear45-70 wrote:Depends on whether you did a proper plug chop and at what throttle setting you did the plug chop.

Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
I did not do a plug chop. Could i do this with the scooter on its rear stand or is it best to be moving?
Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
If you want bogus info, then do it on the center stand.OptimusRhymes wrote:I did not do a plug chop. Could i do this with the scooter on its rear stand or is it best to be moving?

Re: Spree bogging down with air filter?
ok, so i wasnt able to do a full "plug chop" but i was able to put a brand new bpr6hsa spark plug in the spree and ride it around the block a few times... the scooter acted up after about 2 minutes and stalled out on me. I pulled the plug and it is whitish on the top. Here is a link to a picture for you to look at. Next step to solving this problem? I really appreciate the help
